Praying Dakota Judge.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-When Hon.
NJ. H. Day was here. recently, he said
that there is Judge i'll Dakota who has
been in the habit of opening his court
with prayer. Who is he? That cir
cumstance reminds your correspond
ent of peculiar experience in Wash
ington boarding house several years
ago. Charles Lyman, chief of a diyis-
ion in the treasury department at that
time, and now civil service commits
siOner, was a fellow bOarder. He had
no proprietary interest i'll the house,
nor any more authority than any other
bOarder. But he had the whole house
bulldoZed. He would go to his meals
before the old cracked bell
would ring, and there he
would sit until every boarder
was in his place. No one was allowed
to eat morSel, no matter how hungry
or hurried until Mr.. Lyman said grace.
One of the boarderS was nervous, act
i've little man. and disposed to pray
when he felt like it and swear little
when the world needed moving that
way. He was stopped one evening,
when he was in hurry and told by Mr..
Lyman to deSist his efforts to satisfy his
wants. The little man warmed up TO
the occasion and said some very unpar-
liamentary things to Deacon Lyman, and
ever thereafter he was permitted to eat
at will, without let or hindrance from
the church. There should be some such
man practicing before the court of the
Dakota judge.

A DAKOTA EDITOR.

George P. CARED. editor pro-
prietOr of the Wahpet0n Times, was
born at Louisa. Lawrence county, Ken
lucky, Dec. %, 1852. In 1862, with his
parents. he removed to Winona, Mimi,
and few years subsequently from Wi
mona to Austin. where. Dec. IL, 1869, he
entered the Register Office as an ap-
prentice, and served term of three
years. Since then Mr.. CARED has held
all sorts of positions in various news
paper establishments in the Northwest.
and April l. 1880, he purchased the Red
River Free Press. at Brecke nridge,
Mimi, remaining there fifteen months,
when he removed the outfit across the
river to WahpetOn, OAK, changing the
name of the paper to the WahpetOn
Times. which appeared July 10, 1881.
The Times soon grew to be seven col
umn eight-page newspaper; from the
commencement being issued from its
own building, and is to-day doing
flOurishing business, the office being
equipped with Peerless and Gordon
jobbers and Babcock air spring tape
less newspaper press, all run by steam,
the entire establishment being heated
by the same. There being no political
party lines in Dakota, the Times is
noted for its impartial, liberal and
broad gauge principles, founded on in
dividuality. 1t is opposed to the schemes
of the politicians in all division matters,
favOring admission as whole.

votes will be pOlled for and against local

figures as to the vote in each township.
Until within the past week. the OppoSi-

The contest in the city will be close.
Both parties now claim to have ma

strongly confident that they will win.

held tomorrow and another on Sunday

tiOnistS challenge the 'antiS" to Ga dis
cusSiOn. but the latter will not accept.
At no time in the history of the county
have the people been so thoroughly del
uged with temperance literature, Stats
tics, speeches and persuasive entreatleS
as has been given them during the past
four weeks. Combining the two queS-
lions, division and local option, there is
reason to believe the vote throughout
the county will be the largest ever

ton so large that his prestige has
waned, and very few of the 6OO, 900 know
anything about John Bates, once the
mongers and supreme manipu-
lator of neighborhOod gossip.
Through the GLOBE, and by ingen-
iOus use of some very trivial
and commonplace circumstances, he is
now in fair way to regain the position
he occupied in the Olden time. 1t would
hardly be fair in me to say no, when a
fame rehabilitated is so nearly in his
grasp"
But have you no specific explana-
lions to make?" said the GLOBE CORE
sp0ndent.
"Only this" replied Mr.. Bowen.
THAT his allegations are, In the main,
utterly devoid of truth. He has for their
basis casual conversation at Huron,
in which he did most of the talking, and
out of which he has constructed one of
his characteristic Munchausen produc-
tons. am willing to submit the matter
to any jury of old settlers upon
question of veracity between myself
and John Bates. | will say. however,
that in his unfortunate prediction Mr..
Bates is not prompted by malice. 1t is
his overwhelming desire to put forth
something wonderful that moves him
to eXtempOrize so fruitfully."
''Then in this instance he has eXer-
cised his wonderful powers as the father
of startling romance?'
Eyes; and with fecundity that shows
that change of scene and lapse of time

FARGO, Nov. 4.-The local option peO-
pie are on their ear since the board of
trade has declared against them, and
the Republican has come down full
length on the high license side. The
Argus took that ground some time ago,
and, since the Journal died, local option
has no newspaper advocate in Fargo
except the MoOrhead News, which looks
over the river and beseeehes Fargo TO
prohibit. 1t is an able and sagaciouS
Sheet. and it is not surprising that it
manifests double loaded solicitude that

by their principles-eyen if it drives
half its business to MooThead. Thurs

ports an estimated yield of 700 bushels to
the acre. All other crops do equally well.
As for garden, no one can have better
one than North Dakota farmer. Corn Of
early varieties can be grown successfully
here. raised nice lot of sweet corn; also
some early field corn, this season.
There is common report that this is one
crop country. That is a false report, and is
being demonstrated every day by the herds
of cattle to be seen moving over our prairies.
We can produce almost anything an Illinois
farmer can and a great deal cheaper, taking
the value of the land into consideration.
This Is good country for the men who
are renting farms In the East to come TO.
Money paid for rent would improve the land
they get here. Money is plenty in this coun-
try this fall. Merchants are doing a good
business and are collecting all old scores.
AS for health. this is a much healthier
country than Illinois. There is scarcely any
sickness here.

Letters of Some Well-KnOWn

Another installment of letters from
Dakota farmers is printed in this issue
of the GLOBE. They bear the stamp of
genuinenesS, and show their freedom
from any interested influence, because
the names are signed to them. And
they are not written by land agents, or
money lenders, or men who would hope
to reap pecuniary benefit by getting
people to leave their homes in the
East and come to Dakota. The letters
come from bona fide farmers, who have
mostly lived on their lands for years
and know whereof they speak. They
contain great deal of valuable infor-

who are seeking homes in the North
west, and they ought to induce a con-
